After tryg to ntrol Bart’s sexualy, Homer is eventually forced to nont the irratnal nature of his homophobia.

In the great episo “A Milhoe Divid” and the absolutely phenomenal “Homer’s Phobia, ” divorce and homophobia are each addrsed nuanced, plex, and funny ways. Homophobic attus are sharply satirized and shown to be pletely irratnal through Homer’s ridiculo arguments, cludg his sistence that ’s John’s sneaks he objects to (“You know me, Marge. I like my beer ld, my TV loud, and my homosexuals FA-LAMING!

While topics like divorce and homophobia certaly wouldn’t be as ntroversial to addrs now, seems unlikely that the episos uld have been ma the show’s earlier seasons. Acrdg to Oakley, “They felt the whole episo, the whole area, was unsuable for broadst and then, addnally, felt every sgle le mentng the word ‘gay’ or alg wh the topic at all had to be leted or replaced.

Homers Phobia is a brilliant Simpsons episo wh a very well wrten storyle wh loads of really funny episo is an absolute classic episo of the Simpsons, and is also a very groundbreakg episo for s time, as 's storyle heavily revolv around a gay character, which no show had prevly alt character, John (voiced by John Waters) is such a memorable character, his personaly and his tert all thgs llectible are hilar and this mak him whout a doubt one if the highlights of the eight season. After the fay beiends a gay man, Homer is ightened when Bart starts to behave like him and try's get him terted more manly activi.
